Brake pipes

[phillpot]

My personal choice is Cupro-nickel but would any cars have left the factory with copper pipes? From my (limited) experience major manufacturers, certainly back in those days, used cheap 'n nasty go rusty bzp steel?

Both mine currently have copper. Given their ages though, they could have easily left the factory with something else.

Mine has copper. If it's not original, it's been on there a long time.

hi All
Not a bit of Cupro-nickel, stainless hoses from discs to master cylinder.

All very interesting, but I was try to ascertain what our cars would have left the factory with, not what they have now

You'll be needing one of these then

Is this an "originality" question? Have we been spending too much time on the Classic Forumlately Mr Phillpot?

Well I guess some crap they had in the back room judging by some of the other stuff they used

I just found a bit of my old brake pipe, green plastic on rusted steel, hope that helps

Mine has Copper and I'm pretty sure they're original.

Yes, I see the "friendly banter" has kicked off again over there!
